When a person is convinced on something unknowingly by being presented three options. Option 1 is more than necessary. Option 2 is just right. Option 3 is inadequate and makes option 2 look more desirable. Slight variation from the children's story. Option 2 is always chosen.
Salesman: This one is expensive/big/overkill. This one is mid-range/practical/affordable. This one is economic/cheap/low quality.
Consumer: Ah I think I'll go with option 2. You tricky salesman!
Salesman(To Coworkers): That's how the goldilocks approach is done my friends.

"Look down there at the bottom of the hill and to the right!"
"OH MY GOD! IT"S THAT PLACE WE WORK!"

You must choose if you'd prefer to have your kids very close together in age, thus ripping off the band-aid in 1 very quick, yet very painful tear. Or if you prefer to have your kids spaced further apart; a less intense pain but an approach that takes much longer until the band aid is completely off.

People who space their kids 18 months or less apart take the "quick and painful" Band-Aid Approach. But people who space their kids more than 2 years apart are the ones who take the "plucking hair by hair" Band-Aid Approach.

Get the F.D.A. Approved mug.Describes a phenomenon where popular comedy-based websites that were once funny for everyone get taken over by leftist admins, and cease to be funny for anyone not on the far-left of the political spectrum. The archetypal example is cracked.com. Typically, the wealthy leftist admins will choose to be completely oblivious to massive popular displays of disapproval from readers about the direction in which the website is headed (such as disapproving comments in comment sections, large dislike-to-like ratios,etc.). After all, who cares about the opinions of plebs? They're just too stupid to understand that cultural Marxism is in their best interest.
This should not be confused with websites that were always leftist, such as The Onion.

Man, urbandictionary used to be funny, but now the admins only approve or front-page political definitions if they espouse socialism, black supremacy, and third-wave feminism. Total leftist appropriation!
